Why did South Korea end up becoming so much more Americanized than Japan despite both being occupied?

Tell me, Tojo. How do you say stake in Japanese? That’s right, you have no right to call anyone Americanized.
Christian Perry
This comes from a country that had Americans pen their constitution
Charles Gonzalez
I'm talking about ideology and culture. We had no choice about the constitution

Because even after the occupation, Japan was still a real nation, with a respectable history and most of it land and people. Korea had always been submissive to larger powers, combined this with being split in to two puppet states and having to fight it self, the Korean identity have been broken.
Carter Morris
Ah. So the North latched on the the Soviets while the South latched on to America.

>don't want to be like japan
>become like burgers instead
But why? All it's accomplished for them is they just become like whoever is strongest at the moment

Koreans and Chinese are very easily impressible. They want to copy others and have very little independent thought.
The Glorious Japanese however, are proud of their themselves as a people.
t. Chinese
Josiah Scott
More like Chinese. But yeah Soviets too.
Jacob Baker
because they have no own identity
so they have to either adopt american identity or japanese
Levi Ortiz
south korea isn't occupied by the US. it's an american proxy established on what was part of empire of japan from the beginning.
Elijah Harris
Why don't they have their own identity? Even Poland has its own culture that somehow survived the last 500 years.
Lincoln Mitchell
Do Japanese want South Korea to unite with Japan under Japanese culture?
Leo Williams
no way

Retard. Korean and Chinese sailors helped develop the Japanese identity. It’s the opposite. Japan is an amalgamation of Korean, Chinese, American, and Ainu cultures.
They do have their own identity.
Connor Myers
Baekje isn't Korea, sorry.
Cameron Garcia
Chinese influence came later. The Chinese themself was influenced by USSR at the start. The Kim dynasty was picked and put in place by the Soviets

Much of Korean identity was based on immulating pre-Manchu China. After Korea decided to say fuck off to China they basically had to replace their culture with something else

because korea has always been a vassal of something (mostly china) throughout history
stop being delusional lmao
"korea" isn't that old, and making up retarded wikipedia article that reflects on your inferiority complex towards japan won't help.

>.m.
I mean I don't have to say much more at this point

We admire ancient "Korea" we were good friends with Baekje and they gave us Buddhism. But this is no longer Korea. Korea rejected Buddhism and Buddhist temples fell into ruin while it thrived in Japan.
Owen Moore
But the Japanese are literally descended from Koreans (yayoi)
Bentley Nelson
that's fairly normal for weak + small territories/cunts

>We had no choice about the constitution
yea you guys did, shouldn't had gone apeshit in the first place.
Owen Carter
You the one who embargoed us because you worshiped China
Evan Scott
Pre-Tang era Korea was a genuine rival power to China rather than a satellite, to be fair
Landon Anderson
how do you measure americanization?
Blake Scott
stop larping, kim.
yayoi/wajin were japonic peoples that inhabited the peninsula and archipelago, while the "korean" are rapebabies formed later through incursions of chinese, tungus, etc., into the peninsula. you wanna be related to the japanese because korea is so shit you have nothing to be proud of, which translates into the lack of real identity.
>It is believed that a substantial component of the Yayoi people migrated from China to Japan. The Yayoi people who introduced wet rice cultivation to Japan may have come from Jiangnan near the Yangtze River Delta in ancient China.[8] This is supported by archeological research and bones found in modern southeastern China and western Japan.[9] According to several Japanese historians, the Yayoi and their ancestors, the Wajin, originated in the today Yunnan province in southern China.[10] Suwa Haruo[a] considered Wa-zoku (Wajin) to be part of the Baiyue (百越).[11] It is estimated that Yayoi people mainly belonged to Haplogroup O-M176 (O1b2) (today ~36%), Haplogroup O-M122 (O2, formerly O3) (today ~23%) and Haplogroup O-M119 (O1) (today ~4%), which are typical for East- and Southeast-Asians.[12][13] Mitsuru Sakitani suggests that haplogroup O1b2, which is common in today Koreans, Japanese and some Manchu, and O1 are one of the carriers of Yangtze civilization. As the Yangtze civilization declined, several tribes crossed westward and northerly, to the Shandong peninsula, the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago.[14] It is suggested that the linguistic homeland of Japonic is located somewhere in south-eastern or eastern China before the proto-Japanese migrated to the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago.[15][16][17][18] According to linguist, Alexander Vovin, the urheimat of the Japonic languages may have been located in Southern China.[19] Japanese linguist, Miyamoto Kazuo, instead has suggested a homeland further north in China, around modern day Beijing and Liaoning.[20]
